+++ <h1>Creating a Cocoon block</h1>

<p>In this tutorial, you will:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a Cocoon block (the application resources and logic)</li>
--- <li>Import the block as project in Eclipse</li>
--- <li>Start the block as web application and access it from your browser</li>

allows us

+++ and we shall make use of it as follows: -</p>

-DarchetypeArtifactId=cocoon-22-archetype-block
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0
